Personal experience, Season 6, Policy and campaigns
In this episode Laura talks to Sophie Blake who lives with secondary breast cancer, and Eleanor Pearce Willis from Breast Cancer Now. They discuss the issues with the drug approval system in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and the work Breast Cancer Now is doing to help change things.
To have access to the latest drugs is not just for me. It's for [my daughter], it's for my mum who doesn't want to bury a daughter too young. It's for everybody, it's for all of our loved ones... And obviously devastatingly for us, we're not at that point yet.
- Sophie
